Chapter 373 The troops of Western Chu are approaching the city, and Li Nuo is in charge.
Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginning. Chapter 373: Xi Chu troops came to the city, and Li Nuo was in charge.
Chen Yuyan, who has always adhered to the golden mean, also showed the ironclad character that a scholar should have when facing the interests of his family and country, and would never join the Cao family.
In order not to cause trouble, Governor Cao did not embarrass Chen Yuyan too much. Although he was thrown into prison and was in a difficult situation, his life was not in danger for the time being, so Li Nuo did not take him out of the prison.
As for the Dynasty Mahan and others who were still trapped in the inn and could not get out, Li Nuo did not go out of his way to rescue them.
He is waiting for the Cao family to take action.
However, what made him regretful was that for several days, the Cao family did not take any action and even kept a very low profile.
Li Nuo thought for a moment and understood that this should be the tranquility before the storm.
September 30th.
The clouds are billowing and shining brightly.
To the southwest, a column of wolf smoke rose up into the sky. Even the ordinary people in Guangling City could see it clearly.
That is the direction of Meiguan, which is only a hundred miles away from Guangling County!
Is there a war in Meiguan?
Is it Western Chu or Nanman?
Or is it possible for the two to join forces and overwhelm the territory with a large army?
Everyone took a deep breath, worried.
Guangling County does not have a tall and thick city wall!
If Meiguan is lost, the enemy will be able to attack Guangling overnight. Then the smoke will spread and the army will be in disaster. They are afraid that their families will be destroyed...
Qingfeng Tower.
"Sir, I just received news that the Western Chu vanguard cavalry entered Meiguan with the force of breaking bamboos. There are 200,000 troops behind them. They will definitely arrive before sunset. Meiguan is in danger."
Bai Xiaosheng hurried over, holding a secret report in his hand.
Li Nuo stood in front of the window sill, staring at the beacon fire and smoke in the sky, and murmured: "It's finally here."
Bai Xiaosheng said cautiously: "Aren't you worried, Master?"
Li Nuo slowly turned around, glanced at Bai Xiaosheng, and said: "Mei Pass is the third most powerful pass in the world. Not to mention two hundred thousand, even if the whole country of Western Chu sent out half a million troops, they still couldn't attack Mei Pass.
"
Bai Xiaosheng handed over the secret report and said with a wry smile: "The Southern Barbarians have also joined in. They are invincible in field battles. They also have Black Rhinoceros and Kuiniu Cavalry when attacking the city. They should not be underestimated. The most feared thing is that the Wu Clan is also involved.
, once the Dream Witch uses the Dream [Enter Dream] to kill Chu Shouyi, the new Meiguan guard general, Meiguan will really be unable to stop him..."
Li Nuo nodded and asked, "Is there no movement in the Cao family yet?"
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head: "No, our Governor Cao seems to have disappeared from the world. The city is in chaos now. Some are saying that reinforcements will be sent to support Meiguan, and some are saying that they will protect the people from evacuating."
In the past few days, Li Nuo has also been secretly looking for Governor Cao. He just turned the entire government office and the Cao Mansion upside down, but could not find this old guy who was slipperier than a loach.
This guy is indeed an old fox. Knowing that there would be a risk of "catch the thief first, catch the king first", he hid himself.
If they don't show up, Li Nuo will have no choice.
"In this way, you keep an eye on it carefully in the city. If there is any trouble in the Cao family, immediately report it to me using Wen He Feishu."
"Sir, are you going to Meiguan at this time?"
"Well, no matter what, Meiguan cannot be broken."
Li Nuo knew that he could no longer stay in Guangling. As long as he was here, Governor Cao would never show up.
The enemy is easy to deal with, just keep them outside the city.
But the inside is the key!
Meiguan is a famous pass in the world. It can't be attacked without half a million troops, but if it collapses from the inside, it will become very easy.
After Ren Tianxing disappeared, the person who took over the post of Meiguan garrison was Pingnanbo Chu Shouyi, the elder brother of Zhennanbo and the biological father of Chu Wangsong, who had a feud with Li Nuo.
Two uncles from the Chu family, who have been favored by the country, should not rebel, but everything is possible.
There was a crane chirp. Li Nuo turned over and jumped onto Wenhe, riding the crane westward. Naturally, he had to keep the Eagle King's trump card first, but he couldn't show it to others easily.
In less than half an hour, he flew across this hundred-mile land and landed on a mountaintop outside Meiguan.
Although we haven't seen the army approaching the border yet, Meiguan is now full of soldiers, as if facing a formidable enemy, and even the military formations to protect the pass have been activated.
At this time, Li Nuo's clothes changed drastically. His silk and satin clothes had been replaced by blue linen clothes. He wore a bamboo hat on his head, mango shoes on his feet, and a cold knife hanging from his waist. He was dressed like a poor swordsman in the world.
He casually found an abandoned mountain castle and lay down half while looking toward the southwest.
Not long after, he felt the mountain trembling slightly, rolling horse hooves approaching from far away, and the momentum of thousands of galloping horses appearing at the end of his sight.
This is……
Li Nuo straightened his back, his childish eyes shrank, and a large group of cavalry wearing dark red armor swept over.
Their military formations are neat and disciplined, and thousands of horses are running around, which is natural.
Is this the Blood Pagoda Cavalry?
How can this be!
Li Nuo's eyes flashed with deep surprise.
On this continent, there are three powerful cavalry teams in Kyushu.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of the Northern Barbarians, who unified the seven major tribes in the northern grasslands, were now blocked from the Emperor Wu's city by the Sword God, and were not allowed to move even half a step south.
The Black Demon Cavalry of the Central Plains Dynasty, but with the death of the Great Zhou War God, they were also lost in the long river of history.
The third is that this Blood Pagoda has always been suppressing the Demon Abyss Rift in the far west. It has only set foot in the Central Plains once in thousands of years, and it was that time that made them famous in history.
They successfully prevented the Great Zhou War God from going south, and charged head-on with the Black Demon War Cavalry outside the city of Ying in Western Chu without defeat!
I really didn't expect that Xi Chu would mobilize this Blood Pagoda again.
Ten miles behind these 10,000-blooded pagoda cavalry was the 200,000-strong army of Western Chu. During the period of the army, there was also a Southern Barbarian army of more than 10,000 people!
There was silence as the plum closed.
All the soldiers and generals could not help but feel trembling.
Half an hour later, the Western Chu army finally arrived at the city.
Li Nuo closed his eyes and let go of his spiritual consciousness to perceive carefully. He did not notice the figure of the Wu clan.
It's always a good thing that the Wu Clan didn't get involved.
The area near Meiguan has long been fortified and cleared.
Not long after the confrontation between the two armies, a general came out of Meiguan Pass.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Shouyi, a master of art, is brave enough to come forward directly, muster up his inner strength, and roar with thunderous sounds: "Who invaded my Dayin border! Miss him!"
You have not made a big mistake, retreat quickly, otherwise the sword in my hand will behead you!"
The cavalry below separated into two lanes and slowly walked out.
Riding on the sweaty horse was a slightly sickly young man.
Li Nuo almost screamed!
Ren Tianxing!
How did he get involved in the Western Chu army?
And it seems that he is the commander-in-chief of the Western Chu army!
Li Nuo's breathing was slightly disordered, and he wished he could go down immediately and ask what was going on!
But he knew that now was not the time.
"Uncle Ping Nan, you are fine."
The sick young man raised his head and said lazily.
"Should I call you Ren Tianxing, general, or Jiang Jingcan?"
Chu Shouyi glanced at the young man with cold eyes.
The five hundred soldiers behind him were also ready to attack, and as soon as he gave the order, they would kill the young men in Guanxia and turn them into hedgehogs.
Li Nuo felt a storm in his heart.
What did Chu Shouyi call Ren Tianxing?
Jiang Jingcan?
The eldest prince of Western Chu who sent people to hunt down Jiang Qiuyue, seized power through a coup, and forced the king to abdicate?
Infernal Affairs?
Damn it!
Senior Brother Ren, do you want to play so big?
Under the Plum Pass.
The young man picked up the reins and drove the horse until he was approaching Meiguan, only ten feet away from Chu Shouyi.
He smiled: "I'm really sorry for making you worry. I just went back to take over the throne. Now, I'm back again. I'm still Ren Tianxing, and I'm still the guardian of Meiguan."
Chu Shouyi said with a complicated expression: "I don't understand. You have been guarding Meiguan for ten years. It is logical that you want to take it easily, so why do you need to do so much?"
What Chu Shouyi was referring to was that if you let me do whatever you want, why should I go back to Western Chu to bring in the army?
Ren Tianxing just smiled and said nothing.
Li Nuo thought for a while and finally understood a little bit.
It should be training at Meiguan.
After all, Xi Chu had been forbearing for decades, and their army had been cultivated in secret without any actual combat experience. It was just right to use Meiguan as a whetstone.
Ren Tianxing was very familiar with Meiguan. He knew every plant and tree inside the pass, which gave him a large room for error.
Only an army that has been baptized by the flames of war can condense the true military soul.
Jiang Qiuyue, it’s not unfair to lose!
Ren Tianxing, or rather Jiang Jingcan, hid his sharp claws and kept a low profile for thirty years, but at this moment, he finally revealed them again.
Li Nuo felt a little bitter in his heart.
He's either an old fox or an old loach. This layout started ten years ago. How can he fight with these people?
Ren Tianxing is a talented person with a reserved personality. How could he offend Prime Minister Cui and then be demoted to Lingnan as a guard?
I dare you to do this on purpose!
This hand of Infernal Affairs is really fun!
well.
I don’t know what my mentor would think if he knew about this...
Ren Tianxing returned to the army, waved his big hand, and the blood pagoda marched forward in unison. Every time the war horse under his crotch took a step, the ground shook.
They were covered in bloody battle armor from head to toe, and it was impossible to tell who was who. The two-meter-long swords in their hands were exposed with cold light in the sun.
Li Nuo was a little curious. This Blood Pagoda should be regarded as Xi Chu's biggest trump card. Why was it opened so quickly for people to see?
Isn’t it useful at the most critical moment?
Moreover, it also directly gave up the greatest advantage of the cavalry-running attack!
Without speed, the cavalry is a living target.
It was really difficult for him to understand Ren Tianxing's conducting art.
"kill!"
Xi Chufang made a move, and naturally Chu Shouyi could not lag behind. With an angry shout and a wave of his hand, bows and arrows swept out from behind him, covering the sky and the sun, and were even mixed with magic-breaking arrows.
However, it has no effect at all against these blood pagodas.
The bloody cavalry did not dodge or dodge, but moved forward step by step in an orderly manner.
There was a clanging sound, and these bows and arrows that could penetrate three-thirds of the wood from a hundred feet away failed to leave any trace on the blood armor.
"Breaking the military!"
Ren Tianxing gave a light drink.
The silent blood-armored warriors all waved their swords.
Buzz——
His movements were uniform and he made a long sword cry!
Katsa——
The protective formation directly cracked under the combined force of these ten thousand swords.
"Break again!"
Another cold light exploded.
The Meiguan city wall exploded with cold light, creating a large crack three feet wide and ten feet deep.
The soldiers guarding the gate all showed fear at this time.
Of course, what makes them collapse the most is that their leader, who has always been loved by them, actually stands on the opposite side of them and points the finger at them?
Their hands and hearts were trembling, and they had no idea what was going on. How could they raise their morale like this?
The human heart is made of flesh.
Chu Shouyi glanced back at the soldiers behind him. Except for his five hundred soldiers who were still facing danger without fear of death, the other tens of thousands of soldiers had lost the will to fight?
A trace of gray flashed in his eyes.
Meiguan.
I can't hold it any longer.
Of course, before he came to Meiguan to serve as the garrison general, he was summoned to the palace by the emperor to perform a memorial.
The emperor's intention was to withdraw Meiguan if it could not be defended, and he would not be blamed.
At that time, he thought it was a sign of divine grace, so he patted his chest and said he was imprisoned. Now that he thought about it carefully, the emperor must have noticed it.
However, if he abandons Meiguan now, he won't be able to save his face.
Ping Nanbo fled back to Chang'an in the south with his tail between his legs...
Doesn’t this discredit the Chu family?
But if he wanted to fight with real swords and guns... what was underneath was the Blood Pagoda, and even the defensive formation was cracked. How could he resist?
At the moment of the dilemma, the blood-armored cavalry separated, letting me go and patted the horse and stepped forward.
Once power is established, the next step is of course to extend favors and benefits.
Ren Tian's writing was full of energy and his tongue was full of golden lotus: "Brothers in Meiguan, put down your weapons. You should understand me. I will never harm the people of Meiguan."
The sound of birds directly touches people's hearts.
A general came forward and said with complicated thoughts: "General Ren, please tell us, you are obviously our general, but why did you lead the Western Chu army to attack us?"
Ren Tianxing smiled and said: "Brother Nie, I am Ren Tianxing, and I am also Jiang Jingcan, the eldest prince of Western Chu. I am leading the army here today, not to attack Meiguan."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Then you are..."
"Emperor Dayin has long since given up on Lingnan, and the Cao family is all over the sky. If we hadn't smuggled the Tea Horse Road in exchange for some military pay, we would have starved to death long ago. I'm here to make the decision for you and the fellow villagers in Lingnan.
How could it hurt you?"
"real……"
"I have been with you through thick and thin for ten years. When did I lie to you?"
"General Ren, I believe in you!"
The general named Nie threw away the spear in his hand. When other soldiers saw someone taking the lead, they also followed suit.
Ren Tianxing's prestige has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the military, and it played a big role at this moment.
Meiguan.
It can be said that it was won without a single blow.
Chu Shouyi wanted to draw a knife and kill these rebels, but finally gave up.
He only has 500 people, how can he fight against tens of thousands of people?
To the soldiers of Meiguan, he was just an outsider, so he naturally did not have Ren Tianxing's unique advantages.
Moreover, the Meiguan soldiers really had no good impression of the imperial court.
Li Nuo's thoughts were extremely complicated.
He had previously vowed to protect Meiguan for Ren Tianxing, but now...
Turns out he is the clown!
But there was one thing he didn't understand.
Why did Jiang Qiuyue lie to him?
Ren Tianxing is obviously Jiang Qiuyue's eldest brother, but why did you lie to him that Ren Woxing went to Daqingshan?
Whatever.
It's not his nature to speculate.
Since Ren Woxing has come forward, then just ask in person.
———
Seeing that the situation was over, Chu Shouyi abandoned the pass with five hundred soldiers.
The gate of Meiguan slowly opened, and the 50,000 soldiers dismounted their armor and abandoned their swords, and all came out to welcome Ren Tianxing as he entered.
Just when Ren Tianxing was leading his army to enter Meiguan, a man came from a distance.
The man pushed the hat with the handle of the knife, revealing a handsome face.
Ren Tianxing did not show any surprise. He smiled as if meeting an old friend: "You're still here."
"Why?"
Li Nuo stepped forward step by step, his momentum becoming more and more fierce and suffocating.
The momentum of a third-grade martial artist was condensed to its peak at this moment.
The autumn wind blows and makes the trees desolate.
The 200,000-strong army became nervous, and even the horses under the Blood Pagoda couldn't help but tremble and neigh.
One man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men cannot open it.
